Those 3 games started something amazing for future games. Too bad the Final Fantasy series sucks ass now. It is almost like they all got together and said, "Hey, lets take was works great. And break the $#@! out of it!"

At first I'd say it's Resident Evil 4, but if I had to pick something that didn't come out first on another system, I'd probably go with Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3. Man, I sunk so many hours into that game.

A "Resident Evil 2" demo kiosk in KayBee Toys is the sole reason I bought a PS1 - I had to had to had to play that game. I already wanted a PS2 before its launch, but "SSX" is the game for which I absolutely had to buy the console in order to play.

I certainly didn't buy the system for it, but Grandia, the original (and the best in the series) is certainly one of my most influential games from the PS1 days. As Fijiandoce said, that game, it simply hasn't been done since. Absolute best game though, and easily worth buying any console it is on for, is Final Fantasy Tactics. Suikoden, Suikoden II, Wild Arms, Wild Arms 2, Legend of the Dragoon, Breath of Fire III, and of course the Final Fantasies are also in there.

Fate: the universal principle or ultimate agency by which the order of things is presumably prescribed; the decreed cause of events.

Now that I've read your post, I'm intrigued to give Grandia a try. I've only played the second one on Dreamcast and it provided me with one of the best experiences I've had in video games. The original Grandia is available in the PSN which leaves me no reason not to purchase and play it.

Was the Fijiandoce quote toward FF: Tactics or Grandia?

fijiandoce was talking about Grandia. And I fully agree with him. I listen to people talking about how great Grandia II is. Some people love it more than the original Grandia. Personally, however, I find the original Grandia to be the best in the series.

The statement about Final Fantasy Tactics is my own. It's my favorite game of all time. I must admit, while I love the original the most, the PSP remake was pretty good. Some of the added classes are way too powerful, but the animated cutscenes are very welcome.

The best playstation 2 games i've ever seen are
1)Tenchu wrath of heaven(the other tenchu games are also good)
2)Yakuza 1 and 2 (3 and 4 are on ps3)
3) pro evolution soccer(any will do.the latest is pes 11)
4)Grand theft sanandreas
5)True crime New york ( it's so awesome)
6)Tekken 5 (i think 6 just came out)
7)HitmanJust couse (it's like grand theft but it's in mexico...i think)
9)Def jam (an MMA game)

Metal Gear Solid 1 on PS1 without a doubt! That game had it all, great graphics (for its time), great game-play, tremendous voice acting and a legendary narrative like only MGS games can deliver. For PS2 I have to say GTA3 because that was the first time ever an open world sandbox type game was created. Sandbox type games are everywhere these days but before GTA3, games followed a linear path with invisible walls.
